XCR3512XL-10FT256I

Overview

The XCR3512XL-10FT256I is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from the XCR3512XL series, manufactured by AMD/Xilinx. It features 512 macrocells and supports up to 212 I/O pins within an FT256 FBGA package. The device operates on a supply voltage ranging from 2.7 V to 3.6 V and includes EEPROM storage for non-volatile configuration. Key electrical specifications include a maximum operating frequency of 135 MHz and a typical propagation delay of 7 ns. It functions within a commercial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Contains 512 macrocells with 12,000 system gates for high-density logic implementation.
• Supports up to 212 general-purpose I/O pins in a 256-ball FBGA package.
• Features EEPROM-based non-volatile memory for instant-on configuration.
• Operates at frequencies up to 135 MHz with 7 ns propagation delay.

Applications

• High-speed interface bridging between legacy and modern digital systems.
• Complex glue logic replacement in industrial control equipment.
• Address decoding and bus buffering in embedded computing platforms.

Procurement Notes

This component is listed as End-of-Life (EOL). Verification of current availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or obsolete inventory. Ensure that any sourced units are verified for authenticity and proper handling, as moisture sensitivity applies to this package type.

Selection Notes

Select the XCR3512XL-10FT256I when 512 macrocells and 212 I/Os are required in an FBGA-256 footprint. The '10' suffix indicates a 10 ns speed grade, suitable for designs requiring up to 135 MHz operation. Verify that the design voltage aligns with the 2.7 V to 3.6 V range and that the commercial temperature rating (-40°C to +85°C) meets environmental requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the XCR3512XL family, which offers enhanced performance over previous CPLD generations. The FT256 designation specifies the 256-ball FineLine BGA package. The 'I' suffix denotes the commercial temperature range variant. This specific model represents a high-pin-count option within the XL series architecture.

Replacement Considerations

As the part is discontinued, direct replacements may be limited. Consider consulting AMD/Xilinx for recommended cross-references or alternative families such as the XC9500XL series if pin counts and logic resources allow for architectural adjustments.
